Half an hourter, the bathroom door was pushed open.
Sat at the edge of the bed, Suzanne looked over.
Nathan’s hair was damp as he walked out in a white shirt and long pants. He looked refreshed.
His gaze was still warm, and her face warmed up at the sight. She hurriedly picked up the clothes
beside her and headed toward the bathroom.
As she w 1 by him, he grabbed her arm.
Suzanne paused.
Nathan’s eyebrows knitted together as his eyes slowly looked at the white dress in her hands. It was
the dress she wore yesterday. After showeringst night, she had washed and hung it up to dry.
At the moment, she was wearing Nathan’s sleepwear.
“Don’t you have any other clothes?” he asked.
She looked at the dress and said, “I washed it yesterday, and it’s all dry now.
I can wear this.”
“Change into another.”
“Why?”
He let go of her hand. He hesitated for a few moments, not knowing what to
say.
Upon seeing his darkened expression, Suzanne guessed, “Do you think it’s embarrassing for you if I’m
seen in public in clothes like this?”
Nathan stared at her irritated expression and anxiously tried to exin,
That’s not what I meant, I…”
There were many men in the military, but there were female employees too. When the soldiers‘ wives
came to visit, they also dressed in sexy and
attractive clothing.
So why wasn’t it okay for her to do the same?
Suzanne turned angrily and threw the clothes on the bed. “I won’t wear it. Are you happy now?”
“I’ll get someone to send over some clothes,” Nathan said gently.
She proceeded to knot the corners of her shirt. It immediately became more ade it fit better. Then, she
picked up her phone and turned to
hali
stylish an
leave.
He swiftly caught up with her and gripped her arm to pull her back. “Where are you going?”
“Morning run. Breakfast. Walk around,” she snapped irritatedly. ”
Anywhere. I just don’t want to stay here with you.”
Her words were like a double–edged sword, hurting both the receiver and the person who said them.
His face immediately fell. There was a stabbing pain in his heart. He slowly let go of her hand as his
eyes turned nk.
Suzanne left the room without a moment’s hesitation. She walked out of the
military base and strolled unhappily along the main road until she reached a bustling market.
It was filled with all sorts of shops and goods for sale. Local merchants were bustling about. It was
extremely lively.
Suzanne snapped pictures as she walked about.
She headed to a boutique, bought a new set of clothes with local designs, and changed into them.
After an entire morning of sightseeing, she had taken a bunch of photos and bought some local art
pieces.
She came across a small essories stall and was stunned by the intricate and beautiful pieces
disyed on the table. She couldn’t help herself and reached for a pair of fake diamond rings.
“Feel free to try them out if you want!” the owner of the stall said
enthusiastically.
She picked it up and gently put it on her ring finger before lifting her hand to admir
nder the sun. The ring wasn’t the best quality, but it looked
extremely nice nheless.
At that moment, she had mixed feelings. Her joy wasced with grief and sadness. She couldn’t tell if
she was upset. She just felt sour and
ustrophobic.
“Thesee in a pair, and there’s one meant for men too. They go for 201 dors a pair. Would you
like to buy them?”
She shot him a bitter smile before slowly taking it off and putting it back in the box. “I’m sorry, I don’t
need this right now.”
The owner continued in high spirits. “20 dors is a bargain. And they look really nice too.”
Suzanne nodded apologetically at him again. “Sorry, I’ll think about it for a bit more.”
“15 dors, I can’t go any lower,” he bargained painfully.
